IT ALL STARTED back in November, I’ve been to a few FishingMagic fish-ins and thought it was about time we had one in my neck of the woods. So I thought, right, let’s have one on my local, so I put up a new thread to see what sort of response it would get and the response was brilliant.
A date was arranged and then it was just a matter of sorting out directions and B+B details for the visitors that would be staying over. That was it, sorted I thought! Then the rains came! What a headache, anglers from all over the country were coming to fish ‘my’ Avon and it was bank high! What was I going to do? Cancel and let everyone down or try to find a backup venue? I chose the latter, I couldn’t let everyone down so I had to think of a suitable venue to fall back on. I knew that some of the FM members were predator anglers so that made the choice even harder, the obvious backup venue would be a commercial carp water, but they don’t hold pike and perch. Then it came to me, the A+K canal (the Avon and Kennet) just outside of Bath, it holds carp, pike, perch and silvers, something for everyone. So it was decided this was the backup venue and what a backup venue it turned out to be! The day started well, we were all meeting at a local caf  When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission, which supports our community.
